Mastering Muscles and Movement: A Brain-Friendly System for Learning Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Basic Kinesiology

This richly illustrated book provides a system for understanding and memorizing musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology. While there are many books available that cover the subject, Mastering Muscles & Movement presents a fresh approach that is designed to leverage the natural ways the brain observes, learns, and recalls this type of information. Rather than employing the usual one-muscle-per-page format, this book treats groups of muscles as "movement families" and presents them in a way that provides a rich visual, verbal, and relational learning environment.

The result is a truly brain-friendly experience for the student. The myriad details and interrelationships are easily recognized in simple and natural ways by the innovative arrangement of the muscle information on each page and from page-to-page. The reader comfortably stays aware of the bigger picture while studying any one item, easily compares and contrasts related features and facts, and is enabled to structure study time to play to strengths or to eliminate weaknesses.

Over 170 muscles are covered, as well as all bones, bony landmarks, joints, ligaments, and other related structures. Anatomy and kinesiology concepts and terminology are clearly presented. Detailed yet friendly diagrams employ over 600 illustrations to provide accurate renditions that leverage the natural ways that the brain understands and learns this multifaceted body of knowledge.
